This is crazy to me. Why are people so obsessed with fighting a company that has made all of our lives better with amazing free email, search, maps and other services in only twenty years? Why doesn't HN have the courage to go after MB

Nation states employ shills to attack other countries best companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. There has been a sustained PR campaign against our companies. Dictatorships use Whataboutism to help cover stuff like this... https:&#x

We can cut off illegal immigration by fixing the problem at the source. Illegal immigrants in many cases are fleeing oppressive regimes and evil dictatorships. We have the largest military on Earth. Let’s use it to help overthrow evil dicta
